Yes I did and it's no joy.  The command at least runs when I start  
the session with an x86 client and I can verify that it did something  
by doing a 'setxkbmap -print'... but it doesn't appear to do anything  
to the actual keycode to keysym translations.

Mind you, it only works that far one way.  If I start the client  
originally in OS X, then setxkbmap won't work at all.  It prints some  
error message that escapes me for the moment and dumps core.  Fun!   
Offhand, I believe that this is because the X11 that ships with OS X  
doesn't support the xkb extension?
